The release schedule is roughly one release every few months and each release
brings new functionality and improved performance. The interface is very
stable, though, and code written using a version of mahotas from years back
will work just fine in the current version, except it will be faster (some
interfaces are deprecated and will be removed after a few years, but in the
meanwhile, you only get a warning).

Bug reports with test cases typically get fixed in 24 hours.
